FT-Pro Flow-through System

Product Description

Product Description

Flow-through (FT) hybridization technology is one of the simplest and the smartest platform technology for hybridization.  As its name suggested, test sample (i.e. PCR product) and buffer will Flow-through the membrane matrix by force, as a result to enhance the efficiency of any complementary binding to be taken place.  This is ideal for membrane based array.

The Flow-through hybridization was made possible by having the highly regulated multiple temperature control system, engineered air-flow wind tunnel and special design liquid dynamic channels featured in FTPro Flow-through hybridization device.  Along with DiagCor GenoFlow array kit series, FTPro enables user to have higher productivity with its benefits of high efficiency, quality results, low cost and flexible sample size.

Principle of the patented "Flow-through" Hybridization Technology

"Flow-through" Hybridization Technology provides the platform for rapid analysis of any analyte in the solution-Porous-Matrix System. This is exemplified by the DNA hybridization: It is characterized by active approach to facilitate the annealing reaction between the sample molecules (targets) and the capturing molecules (probes), which occur on three-dimensional porous matrixes rather than planar surfaces.

The annealing of two complementary DNA single strands is a very fast kinetic process when the two strands collide. However in the two-phase conventional hybridization system, the target molecules must move toward the probes fixed in the solid matrix during hybridization, Hence this diffusion through solid matrix - a slow process - is the rate-limiting step and therefore the incubation step usually takes hours or even overnight in order to achieve optimal results.

The "Flow-through" process overcomes this diffusion limitation during the annealing process and all subsequent steps as required for signal generation. By directing the targets toward the probes to form duplexes, the hybridization is changed from the passive and random diffusion to active channeling process allowing the recombination reactions to complete in seconds. The washing of non-specific and inbounded targets will be removed similarly. Theoretically, the "Flow-through" method will produce the optimal signal and signal-to-noise rations rapidly for any affinity capturing chemical processes: i.e. DNA-DNA; DNA-protein; Antibody-antigens; Ligand-receptor and other molecular interactions.
